about conference

Is this Seminar for you?

– This seminar is suited to the new graduate or experienced practitioner, either with little to no experience in neurology and vestibular rehabilitation
– You’re looking at improving your clinical competency in managing patients with dizziness, vertigo and poor balance
– You’re unhappy with poor results using standard musculoskeletal therapies
– You’re looking for an integrated brain-based approach in managing challenging cases
– You learn best when there is a mix of clinically-relevant lecture material, reinforced with hands-on practicals

What you will learn?

Vestibular disorders – learn the neurophysiology of the vestibular system, how to conduct a history, assessment, differential diagnosis from common dizziness and vertigo conditions.

Vestibular Rehabilitation – formulate a tailored and individualised management plan for each patient based on their examination findings, so you can have greater certainty in patient outcomes.

BPPV – master how to assess and treat BPPV (the most common vestibular condition) and its many variations, and get patients better, more often.

11:15AM

Vestibular Conditions

11:15AM -
12:15PM

02:00PM

02:00PM

The Vestibular Examination - Auditory

02:00PM -

02:30PM

The Vestibular Examination – Oculomotor Exam

02:30PM -
04:00PM

nystagmus (spontaneous and gaze-evoked) – understand what it means and how to detect nystagmus and its clinical significance

how to differentiate between peripheral and central vestibular conditions

visual pursuit and saccade eye movements

04:00PM

Afternoon tea break

04:00PM -
04:15PM

04:15PM

The Vestibular Examination – The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex

04:15PM -
06:00PM

We’ll cover and practice an extensive protocol of assessing the VOR, from reflexogenic and behavioural aspects

Day 2 Agenda

Sunday, Aug 18, 2019

09:00AM

The Vestibular Examination – Screen for Stroke

09:00AM -
09:45AM

You will be able to very accurately differentiate an acute peripheral conditions from a cerebro-vascular incident like a stroke or dissection. A 3-part examination will give you the confidence to either manage in office or refer for immediate medical emergency.

09:45AM

The Vestibular Examination – Balance and Gait

09:45AM -
11:00AM

Learn and practice the main balance and gait assessments, including standardised tests

11:00AM

Morning tea break

11:00AM -
11:15AM

11:15AM

BPPV

11:15AM -
01:00PM

We’ll explore the most common variations of BPPV and how they present in office, how to assess them and manage them accurately. This has been updated with the latest revisions. You will workshop how to perform the main BBPV tests and manoeuvres.

01:00PM

Lunch (buffet lunch served in hotel restaurant)

01:00PM -
02:00PM

02:00PM

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy 1

02:00PM -
03:45PM

You will be able to successfully integrate the information you have acquired from the history and physical examination into a tailored rehabilitation program specific to the patient’s findings.

When to apply a vestibular, oculomotor or balance component to a therapy program

Learn how to identify and manage a patient’s ‘intolerance’ to therapy

03:45PM

Afternoon tea break
